Michael Lark, CVT: I like that Banfield creates a positive and like safe environment for me. Me being part of the LGBT community and also black, you know, power at Banfield has really elevated black talent. And you know, Banfield pride has made advocacy very safe.

Deena Torres, CVT, LVT: “[Banfield] encourages us to take on different roles, and whatever we feel comfortable in doing…As vet techs, we could specialize in surgery…We could also advance to being field directors; we could be practice managers,”
